You’ll want to make sure that the your information is correctly set here (if you don’t know what to put in, check the Help menu for the Packages User Guide. Once the Packages project opens, click on the Project tab. In this case, I’m naming the project Microsoft Office 2011 SP 4 14.4.1Ĥ. Set up a new Packages project and select Raw Package.ģ. Remove the Office 2011 installers’ application quit function.Ģ. See below the jump for how you can use an Office 2011 SP 3 installer package, the Office 2011 14.4.1 Update, and the .plist license file to build a unified Office 2011 SP 4 14.4.1 installer package that does not prompt for a product key.ġ. To address the issue of installing 14.4.1 without losing your volume license, you can use Packages‘ ability to add resources to a Packages-built package. If you have a volume-licensed version of Office 2011 installed on your Mac, you should have this file. The needed file is /Library/Preferences/.plist. In the meantime, the easiest fix I’ve found in my testing this week is to get the necessary volume license file from a machine that has Office 14.3.x installed on it and put it back on an as-needed basis. With luck, this will only be an issue for 14.4.1 and Microsoft will fix this issue in the next 14.4.x update. These two scenarios will likely apply if you’re building a new machine using an automated deployment tool, but likely will not if you’re a home user.
Office 2011 is installed and then updated to 14.4.1 without any Office applications being launched between the initial installation and the update. Office 2011 is installed and then updated to 14.4.1 while nobody is logged inĢ. This behavior may be seen with the 14.4.1 update in the following cases:ġ. This is a problem that’s been seen with previous Microsoft Office 2011 installers and usually involves the volume license file not being applied when it should be.
Since my work has a volume license, this isn’t a screen I should ever see. When I installed the combined Office 2011 installer with DeployStudio, then logged in, I was asked to enter a product key. I have an existing process to build a combined Office 2011 installer using Packages, which I’ve used successfully for a while.
One of the issues I worked on this week was building a new Office 2011 installer after Microsoft released the Office 2011 14.4.1 update.
